Did you ever think it would be this good?

All I ever wanted was a proper Cup Final at Wembley. League Cup would have been fine. And one trip to Europe watching City.
I went to the finals in ‘76 and the two in ‘81 but I was a child then and the Full Members doesn’t really count, even though it was a good day out.
Anything on top of that Lockeron trip ( not counting TNS ) and the Stoke final has been a bonus really.

I hoped but never thought it would be this good.
My biggest regret is my younger brother died in January 2008 and didn’t get to experience the takeover and what followed. The only ‘success’ he witnessed was beating Gillingham in 99. There’s so many ‘time served’ blues who couldn’t complete the journey, so this is for them too.

As one that went to Wembley in the late 1960s I thought I would be dead before we went again for a cup final. I'm so glad I was wrong!!

It’s only been since Villa really… Villa, Newcastle and Palace. A new resilience. I’ll undoubtedly regret saying this

This is the best team I’ve ever seen play in my lifetime.
I never thought in my life that a City team could be better side than that.
I’m not so sure now!

At the millennium I said I could die a happy man if
City won a trophy
Fleetwood got in the league
Ireland won the grand slam
Lancy won the County championship
Not one of those events seemed remotely possible at the time and all have since come to pass. At the time I was happy that City were doing well in the championship and we'd had that wonderful day at Wembley. Never in my wildest dreams did I see this happening. Thank you Lord.

After we won the league in 12 i would have died happy. Said at the time if we never won anything again i would not be arsed. Pre 2008 my best hope was a league cup final appearance and i was not even bothered if we did not win. NEVER ever thought we would win a cup pre 2008. The 3 team cartel had it sown up. Happy fucking days.
